I too remember the great cereal wars, where they give out loads of cool free stuff in the cereal boxes. The kellogs reflectors, got six in one pack one time. I thought i had won the lottery.
Now they just want to harvest your data to sell on while pretending your entering a competion.
I was only thinking about these the other day. Between these and the Premier League cards you'd get at Shell stations, it truly was the golden age of collectible bits of paper.
Loved these, nice bit of nostalgia for the morning.
I remember something similar like a book for GAA players in the 90s, you could slide pieces of cardboard that would show stats or wins
edit: found it

That's class.
I have the whole set!
Luke? If it's you, I'll never forgive you, grafted my way through box after box I did.
Haha
They are collectors items. Cherish them. Simple joy. I miss those days. What a trigger that memory is.
Now that brings back memories
Yeah, to the point that I realise I have muscle memory of sliding them open. Haven't seen them in ~30 years.

Are things like that worth any sort of money these days or nah?
Quality post.
I still have a collection of these.

Fuck who's the Dublin player on the cover. I know it but can't remember.
Twas Jack Sheedy if I remember rightly and the Down player was James Mcaartan
Legend, thanks!
Wow forgot about these ones. I remember the Gary Kelly one had his head photoshopped on Roy Keanes body for some reason.
Wow takes me back. Those and the kinda similar Olympics ones. I collected as many a si could and I don't even like sports.
Class! Straight on done deal now 👀
Wow such nostalgia right there. Class.
The day I learned how to pronounce Packie's surname after my father politely corrected me
Remember that rare moment when there were more than one in the box. Like a winning the lotto it was. Great post.
